Under the terms of the agreement, Roche will make an upfront cash payment of $12 million and fund PTC's research efforts. Subject to achievement of several successive milestones, there is the potential for PTC to earn up to $239 million in research, development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments per target. PTC would also receive up to double digit royalties for all products resulting from this collaboration. Roche has the option to add four targets to the collaboration across therapeutic areas, for additional cash payments.

"We are pleased to enter into this collaboration with PTC Therapeutics. PTC's expertise in small molecules addressing RNA biology and the demonstrated productivity of their GEMS technology platform make this an attractive collaboration," said Dr. Christer Nordstedt, Head, CNS Discovery of Roche.
